Research Interests

I am interested in a number of different influences on decision making, and enjoy taking multi-disciplinary approaches. I am also interested in methods of research synthesis and meta-analysis. Current and past projects have explored the following topic areas:

How preferences can be revealed through our use of language.

Non-verbal signals and non-conscious processing in trust judgements.

Unlawful online file sharing and the reasons so many people are so willing to break the law in this way.

Adherence to medicines in chronic illness.

The effects of pre-natal androgen exposure on sexual dimorphism and aggression.
